SEED BALLS PLANTING PROJECT

The highly successful Seed Balls Planting Project was supported by a $500.00 Seed Grant to the Ellis County Rural Heritage Farm from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and underwritten by Native American Seed.  Ginger Cole, Rural Heritage Farm Board Member and Project Director, reported that more than 2,000 to 3,000 seedballs containing Texas wildflower seeds were made, delivered, and/or distributed by families, individuals, and local church, school, and youth organizations at the Rural Heritage Farm.  Local groups that participated in the Seed Balls Making Project included the Boys and Girls Club of Ellis County, Central Presbyterian Church Community Garden Project, Ellis County Master Gardeners, Indian Trail Chapter of the Master Naturalists, Pettigrew Academy, St. Joseph Catholic School, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, among numerous families and individuals.  For more information on the Seedballs Project click HERE or contact Ginger Cole:  ginger-ann@att.net, 214-240-8652.
